It's not necessarily true that it closes on the 31st October. The current system will only let you book up until the 20th October, meaning Thorpe are yet to decide upon a final close date. Of course November 2010 isn't on the drop down menu, but the source code for the calender probably doesn't allow 2 Novembers, regardless of one being for the following year. What I do think is that as we move into December, then November 2010 will appear on the drop down menu.Indeed I could be wrong, and this is merely my thinking. All I will say is, don't assume that Thorpe Blast won't be back and that the park closes on the 31st :)AaronI looked on here Thorpe Park Ticket Booking System and it appears the 2010 season doesn't start until the 20th March....isn't that a week later than the usual main season at Thorpe? (I have a feeling that's pretty much the date for Alton every season and maybe Chessington too). Also on there, it looked like it shut on 31st October. But on Paul's link above, it shows 5pm closes planned for November and from that it looks like Thorpe Blast is dead.That's STUPID. I'm guessing they cancelled it because they had to spend revenue on a mega big display of fireworks x 3 nights and they don't want to spend their profits, just make more. Doing a sort of Adrenaline Week (Alton Towersy idea) is nice but Thorpe Blast isn't just good stuff, it's GREAT! It makes the season go out with a bang (literally) and turns a last, cold week into a fun with the audio changes and fireworks at the end of the week. Even if they don't have it for Fri, Sat, Sun as they did last year, can't they have it on the LAST day?That's a case of me honestly thinking Merlin have taken their eye off the ball and got profits and guest satisfaction blurred together. I totally understand they're a business, but hey - they still have a massive focus on 'making a difference' and having fantastic 'location branded entertainment' and a sad, lonely, 5pm closing week to a season ain't too fantastic in my view.

Magrathea, your everywhereWow, surely that'll be a bit of a trek, Aaron?
No, I'm looking to move closer to Thorpe Park, just not sure where to. Maybe somebody on here can suggest the best areas to live around Thorpe, and where is cheaper :)Aaron

Anyone else here either returning to work at Thorpe in 2010 or looking to apply and work their for the 2010 season?I've "Applied" online, the only thing you can do at present is register your interest until recruitment begins at the end of December.Aaron
